One Piece: Kaido's adopted son, starts with the Eight Gates Formation.

"What...what is this...?"

Zhan Guo suddenly looked up, his pupils contracting violently!

He recognized the foundation of this power!

It is the Holy Mother's Flame!

But this time, it's completely different!

The clouds in the sky were torn apart, and an indescribably huge magic circle, interwoven with dark red energy and pitch-black runes, slowly emerged.

In the center of that magic circle, a pillar of light, a mixture of dark matter and flames of destruction, was gathering!

That is no longer pure energy.

That was... the true wrath of God, infused with Lord Im's essential power!

That power was enough to erase this entire ocean, along with all the islands within it, reducing them to nothingness!

"It was Lord Im who made the move!"

A hint of joy reappeared on Figaland Garin's face.

"This is a power far greater than the one from the last Marineford War! It contains darkness, it's true divine punishment!"

"Great! We still have hope!"

The other five elders also showed expressions of hope.

Audiences around the world were stunned speechless by this sudden turn of events.

All they could see was that the sky on the screen seemed to have been torn open, creating a gap leading to hell.

A dark red sun, a mixture of destruction and despair, is about to fall!

however.

Just as the world-destroying "Dark Mother's Flame" was about to fall.

The golden Buddha statue, which had remained silent until now, has finally made a new move.

It slowly raised its head.

The crimson Susanoo enveloping it, with its eyes flashing with Mangekyou Sharingan, glanced indifferently at the magic circle in the sky.

then.

Lynn's cold voice echoed between heaven and earth.

"Is that all you've got?"

"Im".

The words fell.

Behind the golden Buddha statue, the thousands of enormous, solemn Buddha hands moved.

They did not close together, nor did they clap.

At the same time, clench your fists!

A thousand giant golden fists, with bulging muscles on their arms, each fist wreathed in a devastating crimson energy!

"Give me……"

"Go back!"

boom!!!!!!!!

At the same instant, a thousand giant fists launched a ferocious attack from below towards the sky!

Without holding anything back!

Without the slightest hesitation!

A thousand golden torrents, mixed with crimson energy, surged into the sky from behind the Buddha, converging in mid-air into an indescribable golden pillar of light capable of piercing through heaven and earth!

That beam of light went against the current!

It crashed headlong into the dark, holy flames that descended from the sky!

boom--!!!!!!!!

At that moment, the whole world fell silent.

The eardrums of everyone were temporarily deafened by the collision that exceeded all limits.

Viewers in front of the screen could only see the live broadcast image violently distorted and flickering, almost torn apart by the aftershocks of this energy!

The golden torrent and the dark red divine punishment engaged in a primal and violent struggle at an altitude of ten thousand meters!

The stalemate didn't even last a second!

The Holy Mother's Flame, a mixture of darkness and destruction, was utterly defeated by the golden torrent of a thousand fists combined into one, retreating step by step!

They were pushed back!

It was forcefully pushed back!

The golden pillar of light, unstoppable and defying divine punishment, crashed into the dark red magic circle in the sky!

Snap! Snap!

The magic circle, like glass, was instantly covered with cracks, and then shattered with a crash!

But this is not the end!

The golden torrent, its power undiminished, continued upward, tearing through the thick, sky-obscuring clouds!

A colossal creature, hidden above the clouds and blotting out the sun, has finally revealed its true form!

It was a floating, massive fortress made of unknown metals and strange runes!

Its shape resembles an inverted crown, with dark red flames burning at the top, and countless cannons and energy pipes covering it like the tentacles of a monster!

An ancient and desolate aura, yet imbued with boundless majesty, emanated from it!

"What...what is that?!"

"The Three Ancient Weapons... Uranus, the Heavenly King!!"

On the Moby Dick in the New World, Whitebeard suddenly stood up, the wine jar in his hand slipped and shattered.

"The legendary weapon... bearing the name of 'God' actually exists!"

Revolutionary Army Headquarters, Baltigue.

The dragon's pupils contracted violently.

"Is this... the World Government's true trump card, hidden for eight hundred years?"

The whole world, everyone who witnessed this scene, was completely speechless.

The legend is actually true!

And the floating fortress, where Uranus, the Heavenly King, seemed to feel an unprecedented threat after being forced back by the golden rain of fists.

The dark red flames at its top began to flicker violently, as if trying to gather even greater power for the next attack.

Or perhaps, they want to escape!

but.

Lynn gave it no further chances.

"Transformed Buddha at the Top - Return to One - Annihilation Strike!"

At this moment, the thousands of golden arms that were blasting into the sky began to merge at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Unite!

finally.

It transformed into a unique, ultimate golden giant hand, larger and more solid than any previous attack!

On that palm, Buddhist patterns flowed and divine light shone brightly, yet it also carried an incomparably domineering and destructive will that was enough to annihilate all gods!

then.

This palm is facing the legendary ancient weapon in the sky.

a slap.

It was taken!

hum-

The space itself was visibly distorted and wrinkled under this palm strike!

Uranus, the King of the Gods, whose massive metal body was large enough to cover an island, appeared so tiny in front of this giant hand!

It couldn't even put up a decent resistance!

*Snap!*

The crisp sound, like shattering glass, was transmitted throughout the world via the live Den Den Mushi!

Under the horrified gaze of billions of people around the world.

One of the three legendary ancient weapons, Uranus, the King of the Gods.

With a single slap from that giant golden hand, he was sent flying from ten thousand meters in the air directly into the endless depths of the sea!

boom!!!!!!!!!!!!

The ocean has been blasted into a giant, bottomless hole!

Billions of tons of seawater were hurled into the sky, transforming into an unprecedented tsunami that spread wildly in all directions!

The ancient weapon, representing the highest level of military power of the World Government, completely disintegrated and shattered the moment it sank into the sea, turning into countless cold metal fragments.

All the energy contained within it was completely wiped out and annihilated by the domineering power contained in that palm strike!

The world fell silent.

Everyone who watched this live was completely stunned.

If Lynn's previous actions of killing one of the Five Elders with a single slap and swatting away all the Seraphim with a single blow were shocking to them...

So at this moment.

A single slap shattered the legendary ancient weapon...

This brought them a deep-seated, incomprehensible fear called "absurdity."

Among the flowers.

The tall, slender figure, whose gender was indistinguishable, stood quietly.

Before Im lay a map, a fiery symbol representing Uranus, the King of the Gods.

At the moment the Heavenly King was smashed.

puff.

It turned into ashes.

Dissipate completely.

……

On the ruins of the Sky Island.

The surviving World Government coalition has completely lost the ability to think.

They simply stared blankly up at the colossal, god-like golden statue that still stood between heaven and earth.

"Last time...last time he clearly..."

Sengoku's lips trembled, but he couldn't utter a complete sentence.

Last time in the Valley of the Gods, Lynn faced the Holy Mother's Flame and almost used all his strength to barely detonate it.

But this time...

He not only effortlessly deflected the even more powerful attack.

Even more so, he did it on the side...

They wiped out the main body that unleashed the attack with a single slap!

Why is his growth rate so ridiculously fast, to such an unreasonable degree?!

The four elders had lost all color in their faces, leaving only ashen faces.

hope?

ecstasy?

What is that?

Their only thought now is to escape!

Escape this demon at all costs!

however.

The moment the thought crossed their minds.

The giant golden Buddha moved again.

Its enormous hand, covering the crimson Susanoo, reached out once more!

This time, the target is the financial god with a crescent-shaped mustache, Saint Vochuli!

"not good!"

The alarm bells rang in Sacred Vocuri's mind, and his body instantly transformed into a giant, monstrous bird with outstretched wings named "Itsumade," about to soar into the sky!

but.

Too late.

That giant golden hand ignored the distance in space and arrived first despite being later!

Five golden fingers, as straight as pillars of heaven, gently came together!

He then grasped the enormous strange bird, along with its shrill screech, in his palm!

"roar--!!"

Worchul struggled frantically within the giant hand, the terrifying power of the awakened Mythical Beast constantly shattering the hand's restraints!

But it was to no avail.

Those five fingers were as firm as the most unshakeable laws in the world.

No matter how hard he charged, he couldn't budge it an inch!

despair!

Utter despair enveloped Sacred Vochuli's heart!

He could clearly feel those five fingers slowly tightening!

The shadow of death is close at hand!

It was clear that the second of the Five Elders was about to be crushed to death in front of the whole world, like a walnut being squeezed!

Just then.

A voice.

A voice that could not distinguish between male and female, high and low, yet contained supreme majesty, as if it had existed since the beginning of the world.

Suddenly, it rang clearly in everyone's ears.

"stop."

For an instant.

Time and space seemed to have been paused at this moment.

The towering golden Buddha statue, with its massive golden hand that was about to crush the Holy Buddha of Vocuri, paused for a moment.

On the ruins of the Sky Island.

All the survivors, whether from the navy or the Knights of God, instinctively looked up, following the source of the sound.

The sky, without anyone noticing, had turned pitch black.

It's not the kind of blackness that comes from dark clouds obscuring the sun.

Rather, it is a purer, deeper, and more profound darkness that seems capable of swallowing all light and hope—a void of darkness.

Followed by.

hum-

A dark red magic circle, even larger, older, and more eerie than the one manifested by Uranus, the Heavenly King, slowly unfolded against the dark sky.

Countless twisted, indescribable runes, exuding an ominous aura, swirled rapidly at the edge of the magic circle.

And at the very center of that magic circle.

A pitch-black vortex is slowly taking shape.

"What...what is this thing?!"

"Could it be...could it be that lord?!"

Figaland Garin looked up at the sky, and a morbid fanaticism rekindled on his ashen face.

The other three members of the Five Elders also seemed to have grasped at the last straw, their eyes shining with the light of relief after surviving a disaster.

Everyone around the world who saw this scene on the live stream had their hearts in their throats.

I just smashed an ancient weapon.

Now, something even more outrageous has come from the sky?

How many secrets does this world still hold that remain unknown to the world?!

Right under everyone's watchful eyes.

Something was slowly descending from within that dark vortex.

The first thing to appear was a monster so huge it defied description.

It has a salamander-like body, but is covered with jet-black scales, and between the gaps in the scales burn dark red flames, like hellfire.

It has no eyes, but its head is split open into a huge, abyss-like maw, filled with countless sharp, sword-like fangs.

An aura of ferocity and savagery emanated from this giant salamander; a single glance was enough to break the spirit of those with weak wills!

"roar--"

The giant salamander let out a deep roar, and the sound waves materialized into a tangible impact, causing the already shattered sky island wreckage to tremble violently once again.

However, this terrifying behemoth, comparable in size to a small island, is not the main character.

On its broad top.

A figure stood silently.

The figure was dressed in a long, black robe that seemed to be woven from shadows. The figure was tall and slender, and it was impossible to tell whether it was male or female.

Its face has no facial features.

Instead, there were eerie red eyes that swirled endlessly, like a deep abyss vortex.

Behind it, six jet-black bone spikes, like demon wings, slowly unfolded, each spike tip burning with dark red flames of destruction, the same as those of the behemoth beneath it.

The moment the figure fully appeared.

The whole world seemed to be choked by an invisible force.

Everyone who witnessed this scene, regardless of who they were or where they were, felt a primal urge welling up from the depths of their souls at that moment.

Kneel down.

Submission.

Worship.

"Lord Im!"

"Welcome, Lord Im!"

Figarand Garin, along with all the members of the Knights of God, knelt down on one knee, lowering their proud heads with fervent and devout expressions.

The two surviving members of the Five Elders also bowed respectfully, their posture extremely humble.

Within the naval camp.

Kong, Sengoku, and Garp, the three pillars of the Navy, were completely blank at this moment.

They stared intently at the figure in the sky, the true face representing the world's highest power, hidden behind the scenes for eight hundred years, their pupils shrinking to pinpoints from extreme shock!

This is... the King of the World?!

This is... the pinnacle of the world government to which they have devoted their entire lives?!

A...demon?!
